Why Test for Entamoeba histolytica?

Entamoeba histolytica is an intestinal parasite that can cause amoebiasis (also known as amebiasis), an infection primarily affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Infection may be asymptomatic or can cause gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and cramping. In some cases, infection can become more severe and spread beyond the intestine.

As gastrointestinal symptoms can overlap with those caused by other parasitic, bacterial and viral pathogens, laboratory testing can help support identification of the potential cause of illness and appropriate clinical assessment.

Entamoeba histolytica antigen testing provides a convenient method for detecting parasite antigens in faecal samples. Depending on testing requirements, E. histolytica may be tested individually or alongside other gastrointestinal parasites that can cause similar symptoms.

Biopanda offers both dedicated Entamoeba histolytica Antigen Rapid Testing and multiplex testing for Entamoeba histolytica alongside Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium, providing healthcare professionals and clinical laboratories with practical rapid testing options to support the investigation of suspected parasitic gastrointestinal infections.
